Dear Colleagues,

 

We are delighted to announce that for a limited time only the European Museum Forum is re-opening the European Museum of the Year Award 2012 competition, in order to provide the opportunity to apply for the revised Council of Europe Museum Prize. The closing date for applications is 16 June 2011.

 

In 2012, the European Museum of the Year Award (EMYA) is celebrating its 35th anniversary. Over the years, EMYA has proven to be the longest running and most prestigious museum award in Europe and it continues to be the most important occasion for promoting innovative museum practice and public quality in the European museum sector.

 

The competition also includes the unique and prestigious Council of Europe Museum Prize which has been running alongside EMYA since its foundation in 1977. For EMYA 2012, EMF and the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe have been working closely on reinforcing its European dimension and highlighting the need to preserve and promote European cultural heritage.

 

A Memorandum of Understanding between the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe and the European Museum Forum on the Council of Europe Museum Prize was signed in Strasbourg on 31 May 2011.

 

We hereby invite European museums to submit applications for the EMYA and the Council of Europe Museum Prize before 16 June 2011. Please find attached detailed information on the competition.

 

Alternatively, please visit our website www.europeanmuseumforum.org for the application form and guidelines.

 

The museums that have already applied for EMYA 2012 do not have to re-apply, as they are also eligible for the Council of Europe Museum Prize.

 

If you have any queries or require more information please write to Doric McMillan, EMF Administrator, at emf@liverpoolmuseums.org.uk.

 

We thank you for interest in our Award scheme and look forward to hearing from you.

 

With best regards,

 

Mikhail Gnedovsky
